Draft:Abish Brodt

Avraham Abish Brodt (Born June 10, 1947 Cracow, Poland) is an American Hasidic Jewish chazzan (cantor). As a singer, he is best known for his collaboration with composer and singer Shmuel Brazil of Regesh.

Early life and career
Abish Brodt's family originated in Mielec, Poland. The town's Jewish musical heritage was associated with the Ropshitz and Sanz Hasidic dynasties.

As a youth, Brodt attended High Holy Days services at Beth Medrash Elyon in Monsey, New York where he was influenced by the Tefillos of its Rosh Kollel Rabbi Simcha Schustal. As a result of this, Brodt's later work was said to have been a blend of Hasidic and Yeshivish elements.

Brodt was the cantor at Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin in Midwood, Brooklyn for 30 years, before moving to Lakewood, New Jersey in 2017. He was a featured performer at the 10th, the 11th and the 13th Siyum HaShas.
